Lifestyle: Hide the Mess! A survey of 1000 adults (reported in USA Today)
uncovered some interesting housekeeping secrets. When unexpected com-
pany comes, where do we hide the mess? The survey showed that 68% of the
respondents toss their mess into the closet, 23% shove things under the bed,
6% put things into the bathtub, and 3% put the mess into the freezer. Make a
circle graph to display this information.

- 3. Section 2.2: Practice reading a histogram (prerequisite review). A histogram is a graph that organizes quantitative data, like counts and measurements, so we can see the distribution of these data values (i.e. how they vary). The horizontal axis shows the range of values we might see in the data. The vertical axis shows the frequency, or how many times those values appear in our data set. Number of subjects (Note: The axes on graphs in statistics rarely include "break lines" when the graphs do not start at 0. Likewise, the location of 0 is sometimes offset, i.e. moved over, to help us better read the graph.) The following histogram shows the results of a study of adolescent girls in Pennsylvania. The girls reported their daily fruit servings as a whole number. 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 0 5 6 2 3 4 Servings of fruit per day 7 CO 8 Round to three decimal places.

- No.explanation requiredarrow_forwardScenario: A pediatrician wants to determine the relation that may exist between a child’s height and head circumference. She randomly selects eleven 3-year old children from her practice, measures their heights and head circumference, and obtains the data shown below: Child’s Height and Head Circumference Height (inches) Head Circumference (inches) 27.75 17.6 24.5 17.3 25.5 17.4 26 17.5 25 17.1 25.75 17.8 26.5 17.5 27 17.7 26.75 17.5 26.75 17.8 27.5 17.7 If the pediatrician wants to use height to predict head circumference, determine which variable is the explanatory variable and which is response variable. Draw a scatter diagram of the data. Draw the best fit line on the scatter diagram. Does this scatter diagram show a positive, negative, or no relationship between a child’s height and the head circumference?arrow_forwardFeatured Strategy: Drawing a Graph. Richard bowled 24 games, and the mean of his scores was 219. His four lowest scores were 130, 134, 138, and 142. If he throws out these four low scores, what is the new mean? Part 1: a. Understanding the Problem. Throwing out four scores that are below the mean of 219 will result in a greater mean. How many games will be used to determine the new mean? Number of games = 20 Part 2 out of 4 b. Devising a Plan. Sometimes drawing a graph of the given information will suggest a plan. A mean of 219 for 24 games can be pictured as 24 games, each with a score of 219. This is shown in the graph below, where the dashed lines represent the four low scores. What amounts would need to be added to the low scores to bring them up to 219?arrow_forward
- Which of the following best describes why this graph could be misleading? The data comes from too small of a sample. The source of the data is very questionable. A bar chart is not an appropriate graph for this data. They should have made a pie chart. The graph has an alternative explanation flaw in logical reasoning. The vertical axis (y-axis) does not start at zero.arrow_forwardWhat would be appropriate graphs to compare the distribution of majors for male and female students? Explain.
